Postmaster: 
My Dear Sir: Under date of October 15, 1936, the United States Department 
of Agriculture. Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, announced a 
revision of the pink bollworm quarantine (no. .12). so as to release from 
restriction all parts of Florida heretofore included in the regulated area. 
As explained in the announcement, this action was taken following careful 
inspections during 193o and 1936, which revealed no infestation, and with the 
belief that eradication efforts have been successful in Florida and the quaran- 
tine regulations on account of the pink bollworm of cotton are no longer 
necessary in Florida. No other changes are made in the regulated area which 
now includes only certain parts of Arizona. New Mexico, and Texas. 
You will please take note of the foregoing and be governed accordingly. 
Very truly yours, 
C. B. ElLENBERGER, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General. 
PINK BOLLWORM QUARANTINE REGULATIONS REVISED 
(Press notice) 
December 2. 193<i. 
The Secretary of Agriculture announced today a revision of the pink boll- 
worm quarantine regulations. The revision adds to the lightly infested area 
the Texas counties of Glasscock, Howard, and Martin, and those portions of 
Dawson and Midland Counties not previously regulated. This action was 
taken because the pink bollworm was found recently at Big Spring in Howard 
County and at Patricia in Dawson County. Glasscock. Howard, and Martin 
Counties and the previously nonregulated areas in Midland County are in- 
cluded because seed cotton is moved throughout these counties for ginning 
without regard to county Lines. No other changes are made at this time.
